2016 Corton: (from parcels measuring .57 ha in Clos du Roi, 1.2 ha in Bressandes and .5 ha in Renardes, though only 1.74 ha of this are currently in production; yields of 22 hl/ha). Ripe, fresh and restrained aromas of red and dark currant and various spice elements combine with intensely floral, earthy and sauvage-inflected nuances. I very much like the texture of the delicious medium-bodied flavours that possess good power and plenty of minerality that deliver excellent depth and length on the balanced finish that really fans out as it sits on the palate. While there is a mild hint of backend warmth, this could eventually be the best Corton the Domaine has produced.
